Chapter 48: Someone Block Her Path
An Nuan buckled her seatbelt as the engine began to roar.
It did not take them a long time before Ren Di entered the main road and headed to the city center.
An Nuan glanced at her friend who was singing at the top of her lungs. Seeing that Ren Di was in a good mood made An Nuan laugh. The uneasy feeling she had earlier quickly disappeared. Perhaps, Ren Di’s good mood was contagious.
"What did you and my mother talk about earlier?" An Nuan asked once Ren Di had finished one song.
"Hmm?" Ren Di glanced at her friend. "Your mom... she was saying that it was a good thing that I came to drag you out. It seems that you have been locking yourself in your room for the past few days." Her brow furrowed. "Nuan Nuan, are you alright?"
An Nuan heaved a long sigh. "I’m fine."
"Really?" Ren Di glanced at her friend a few more times. She wanted to inspect An Nuan’s expression. However, Ren Di was behind the wheel and had to focus on the road.
"I don’t think that I can face my family," An Nuan said. "Each time I look at them, they would be looking at me with a hint of worry. It was too much for me. I stayed at home so that they would stop worrying about me. But at the same time, their worry was making me uncomfortable. Ren Di, do you understand what I mean?"
Ren Di nodded.
"Therefore..." An Nuan looked up straight again. "These days, I have been trying to do some sketches, hoping to get my mind off some matters while avoiding my family at the same time." She raised both hands to stretch up. "But it seems that I cannot continue to work in this condition."
Ren Di smiled. "Aren’t you glad that I am taking you out?"
